MP5013E 3-5.5V, 2A Programmable Current- Limit Switch TSOT23

MP5013E 3-5.5V, 2A Programmable Current- Limit Switch TSOT23

The MP5013E is a protection device designed to protect circuitry on the output (source) from transients on the input (VCC).

Key Specifications

Features

• 3V to 5.5V Operating Input Range
• 2A DC, 5A Peak Current
• 5.7V Typical Output Over-Voltage Clamp
• 22V Absolute Maximum Voltage
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
• Low Inrush Current during Start-Up
• Integrated 36mΩ Power FET
• ENABLE/FAULT Pin
• Adjustable Output Voltage Slew Rate
• Adjustable Current Limit

Typical Application Circuit

Applications

• Storage (HDDs, SSDs)
• Hot-Swap Systems
• Set-Top Boxes
• USB Ports/Hubs

Design Notes

• The current-limit threshold must stay inside the SOA of the pass device at the applied voltage, including startup inrush.
• Hot-swap inrush control is set by the slew rate on the gate or the dV/dt capacitor — too fast trips the upstream supply.
• Reverse-current blocking behaviour differs between ideal-diode and load-switch topologies; pick the one that matches the fault you are protecting against.
• Route the fault flag to a pin the firmware actually polls; a latch-off protection with no report looks like a dead board in the field.
